I’m reading a lot of comments here which tackle the thorny topic of decriminalization of drugs in the US that we have historically over-prosecuted. I happen to agree with this sentiment as well. But almost everyone here arguing for a middle ground agrees that things won’t change because all three branches of the US seem determined to keep a hard-line or zero tolerance policy on drugs, even when legalization and medical supervision, creation of new business and exploration of safer alternatives and research into benefits of said drugs are brought up as arguments and are summarily dismissed because “reasons”.

What are some actual, practical steps we all can take towards making decriminalization a reality?
